Application tiled November 2e, 1913. Serial No. @02,303.

To all whom it may concern."

Be it known that we, GEORGE W. Narren and LEON F. Auray, lcitizens ot the Unit-cd States, residing at Dunn, in the count oit l-Iarnett and State of North Carolina, iave invented certain new. and useful improve ments in SawfSetting Tools; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full,`

clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the s saine, reference being had to the accompanyf ing drawings, and to the letters and iigures of reference marked thereon, which forni a part of this specification. Y

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in saw setting tools and itfhas for its object the provision of a tool of this character which is designed for use inv setting' saws ot various kinds and sizes.

'lo this end and to such others as the invention may pertain, the same consists in the novel construction and peculiar combination, arrangement and adaptation of parts, all as will be incre fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings and then speciically deiined in the appended claim.

The invention'is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a side elevation of a saw setting tool constructed in accordance with our till invention, the device bein in the position required in setting an or inary hand saw. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the tool, the saine being shown as inverted and in the position in which it is used in setting a cross out saw, and Fig. 3 is an edge view of the device.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by numeral, l designates the head or body portion ot the device provided with a lateral extension 2 to which is attached an operatiniqI handle 3. A lateral ein tension Il is provided. with a lierf yor slot 5 to receive the teeth ot the saw to be operated upon.;

6 designates the limit gage proper and comprises the body portion l, the biiuicated arras oi which are pivoted to the' head ot the tool upon a transverse pivot 8, the free ends ot the said arms being beveled as shown at 9' and adapted tobear against the edge or the saw.

l@ is a set screw passed through the body portion ori' the settiiigl device, the vtree end ot the screw having a bearing against the side et the shank of the tool, this screw being v adapted to regulate the depth of the set ot"- the sawas will be readily understood. The

width of the set is regulated by a set screw li which extends through the arm 12 of the tool in a direction at right angles to the blade ot the saw, the oiiice et this screw heilig to regulate the width et the set iniparted to the teeth of the saw.

Provided at a point adjacent to the upper end of the tool and upon the side opposite the side which is provided with the slot 5,

designed for use in the setting ci the teethl of the hand saws, is a slot 13 designediior usel in setting teeth of cross cut saws.

The construction of the device in its ap-` plication to setting cross cut saw teeth is similar in all respects to that described for the setting of hand saws, excepting that the slot or kort 13 is larger than is required in the hand saw setting. ln the setting of a cross cut saw, the depth of the set is regulatedby means of a set screw il, while the width of the set is adjusted by means of a set screw l5.

16 is a set screw passing tb'rouglrthe side wall of the bifurcated saw set, the set `screw having a bearing against tlie tace of the head of the tool and serves to lock the set in its adjusted position. At the extreme end or' the head portion of the tool a metallic scraper block 17 is secured, the oiiice oftliis device being to serve as a scraper in reinov king the gum trein' the face of the saw.

Frein the foregoing description, the operation of the device will be readily understood. lit it is designed to use the device for setting an ordinary hand saw, the teeth of the saw are inserted within the korf 5 and the saw is adjusted in position by securing the proper depth and width of the set by means of the screws l@ and l1 respectively. The biturcated and pivoted saw gaging member 6 having been properly adjusted is locked in its .adjusted position by nieaiis of the set screw 16. hen thus secured in a position relative to the saw .blade to be operated upon, it will be noted that a downward movement imparted to the tool by means oi"I the operating handle will serve to set, theteoth of the saw which is held 'within the inert. `'lhe saw is then removed and the nent succeeding tooth is similarly operated upon. ln heavier saws., such as a cross cut saw, this operation is repeated, the teeth or the saw being inserted in the lrert provided at the upper end and the tool is adjusted to its use upon the saw by means of the Set `screws provided for the purpose.

What We claim to be new is A. saw setting tool comprising a head with va handle projecting therefrom, a set screw Y mounted in a threaded aperture in an eXtension, a forked limit gage having angled arms,y a thumb screw mounted in a threaded aperture in one of said arms and adapted to bear against the face of the head, a thumb screw mounted in the gage and bearing
